Taking a break from blogging for a while ... there is just a lot going on right now and I am really busy with the kids and things.
4 ... the best age
Thursday, August 28, 2008
I love 4 year olds. They are old enough to reason with, but still young enough to be little. Elaina will be 4 in a few days, and I just love the things she says and does. She is in her own little world of fairies and mermaids and butterflies and bats that wear nightgowns. I love listening to her play and talk and sing and imagine. She loves this commercial, and it totally reminds me of her, so I thought I would post it.
First day of school!

First day pics, as promised. I have to note that Andrew is in a very awkward photo stage... even when he is very happy and excited, he has a wierd look on his face. I have found that both A & E will go through a goofy-photo-face stage, and then mercifully it ends. Hopefully it will be soon because he does not look happy here, although he really was very excited.
My girl ready for her first day of preschool!
Ready to take on Kindergarten!
Such good sports, tolerating their mother's dorkiness
I can't believe how fast they are growing up.
Awww they know I love that sibling love.
Just sharing some pics

I really don't have a whole lot to say, so I am just going to post some pictures to keep people happy.
Here is the new shelving unit John installed this weekend, to organize the toys. Don't worry, it's all attached to the wall, and the tv is anchored to the wall too.
Here are A & E painting pottery this weekend:
That's it for now.
a complaint from a reader
Friday, August 22, 2008
Apparently I have been a blog-slacker. I know, I know. It's just the RAIN. It is sucking the life out of me. GO AWAY FAY. GO. AWAY.
Let's see. School has been cancelled twice this week. Of course, the worst two days we had school. But today school is out. Today the wind is not even strong enough to blow over a cheap plastic chair, and the rain is just rain. Man up, people. Good grief.
Elaina is dressed up in costume jewelry that her friend let her borrow... Andrew is playing with clay... Liam is asleep...
that's it really!
Phew!

I feel like we are really safe now, because Jim Cantore took off his storm-hunter goggles and has returned to normal eyewear.
I hate the media
Monday, August 18, 2008
OK.. so we are expecting what amounts to a tropical storm. Very windy and rainy. With the media coverage we are getting here, you would think we were expecting a direct hit from a category 5, or perhaps an invasion by the Russians. And they wonder why people have "hurricane apathy" ... good lord.. Right now they are having some sort of round-table discussion on the Weather channel, detailing all the various horrors of hurricanes they have been through.
BTW, I totally think real hurricanes suck. We had Charley and it was scary! Plus I was like 39 weeks pregnant and contracting while waiting for the house to blow away, so that was kind of sucky.
In other news, Andrew & Elaina started school today!!! Lots of fun. Of course, they aren't going back tomorrow because of the breeze massive hurricane. But hopefully school will be back in on Wednesday. I'll post pics later.
